PTC Web Desk: On the day Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla condemned the 1975 Emergency, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal took a dig at the Centre, claiming that the entire "system" is attempting to keep her husband in jail, which is illegal and resembles "dictatorship" and "Emergency".
Taking to X, Sunita Kejriwal said, "Arvind Kejriwal got bail on 20th June. Immediately ED got a stay. The very next day CBI made him an accused. And today he was arrested. The whole system is trying to ensure that the man does not come out of jail. This is not law. This is dictatorship, this is emergency."
On Wednesday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in court in connection with the Excise policy case.
The CBI arrested the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor after the Vacation Judge of Delhi Court allowed the agency to examine and interrogate him in court before proceeding with his formal arrest.
The court also directed the CBI to record the material they have for his arrest.
Kejriwal was produced before vacation judge Amitabh Rawat today in accordance with the court's production warrant issued yesterday.
